Intel 8008
The Intel 8008 is an eight-bit microprocessor designed and manufactured by Intel.[1][2]
| specification | value |
|---|---|
| number of transistors | 3,500 transistor on die[1][2] |
| clock speed | 200 kilohertz[1][2] |
| bus speed | 200 kilohertz[2] |
| introduction date | April 1972[2], 24 August 1972[1] |

The 8008 is the lineal ancestor of Intel's later designs, the 8080, 8088, 8086, 186, 286, 386, 486 and all of Intel's Pentium processors.[3] Note that the 8080 is assembly language compatible with the 8008, but not object compatible. The 8008 was the lineal descendant of the Intel 4004.[2]
